user defined function with callback in nodejs

Question

can anyone give me an example in which we are creating a particular function, which is also having a callback function ?

function login(username, password, function(err,result){
});

where should I put the code of the login function and callback function?
p.s.: I am new to nodejs

bad question but w/e
you have mixed up invoking and defining an asynchronous function:

// define async function:
function login(username, password, callback){
  console.log('I will be logged second');
  // Another async call nested inside. A common pattern:
  setTimeout(function(){
    console.log('I will be logged third');
    callback(null, {});
  }, 1000);
};

//  invoke async function:
console.log('I will be logged first');
login(username, password, function(err,result){
  console.log('I will be logged fourth');
  console.log('The user is', result)
});
